Wheels: Service and Repair
Inspection
WHEEL MAINTENANCE
Clean all the wheels with a mild soap and water solution only and rinse thoroughly with water. Never use abrasive or caustic materials because the
surface will be etched or the protective coating may be severely damaged. After cleaning, apply a coating of protective wax to preserve the finish
and luster.
The wheels should be inspected on a frequent basis. Replace any wheel that is cracked, bent, dented, has excessive run out or has broken welds.
The tire inflation valve should also be inspected frequently for wear, leaks, cuts, and looseness. It should be replaced if defective or its condition is
doubtful.
VALVE STEM
This vehicle requires that special valve stems be used in the rims. Use of other than the recommended valve stems can cause rapid air loss and tire
failure.
